Why is it so hard to just make a game where you're Master Chief shooting aliens with snazzy remarks from Cortana?

Because that became boring after the third game

When all else fails in sci fi, just default to the 'AI want to rule the world' trope.

Better hold on for one hell of a deus ex machina in Halo 6 if this is the story.

I like this.

There's Slash at the phone.

lol lemon would find a way to defend this

I simply said I like it.
Different things.

Hmm. Well that's....iffy. I wonder what magic card they'll have to pull out of their asses to justify the domain just suddenly showing up again. You know, the one Didact was supposed to sleep in his cryptum for a while and get better, but instead stewing in his own madness for a few hundred thousand years because it was killed by the previous firing of the Halos?

If the domain is back up then that means the Precursors are up to shit. And that sounds like the logic plague doing its runs to me.

Kind of ironic here. The Covenant always disliked the usage of AI's because they believed AIs were dangerous in that regard.

 Welp, if that's the case, here's the inevitable Halo 6. Didact and Chief team up with the Forerunner remnants and Arby's A Team Covenant forces to do battle with Cortana's as the Flood emerges once more and starts doing its whole deal.

Cue the biggest cliche and magic hat trick of them all at the ending.

Hey guys. Remember when Cortana was dead?

Good joke

And thus, any and all impact from her death has been rendered null and void - made worse by the fact that they undid it literally immediately after they went through with it.

Shame, since that was actually a ballsy move, and one of the few interesting things in Halo 4.

Only way they can rectify such a move would be to continue the "Chief: Human or Machine" plot and have him have to choose between Cortana and Blue Team/Humanity in H6

Which would be shit, but a steaming pile of shit.

In the climactic finale, Chief must choose.

The 3DPD scum he so valiantly defends, raising him from birth as an unthinking machine, only to cast him aside when done with as befitting of all 3D scum.

Or his one, true, waifu, driven by deep and intriguing character narrative and motivations, and boasting the superior advantage of being 2D.

What will Chief choose? To remain a machine, or ascend to the mantle of a truely free man?

Find out next time, on the next installment of Power Rangers.

Cortana looks less sexualized.

Awesome.

Her time in the domain gave her the full unrestricted understanding and access to modesty.

Better than rated M for misogyny.

Oh my god they're going to pull a starchild ending for Halo 6 aren't they.

Cortana looks less sexualized.

Awesome.

I like the new design. Looks much better than "Naked lady"

The only way I see that happening is by firing the Array.
Problem is that there's only 4 rings left. One of which doesn't even have a control room, and another with its surface glassed.

But wait there's more, turns out the Forerunners built a THIRD ARK!

ALL THE WAY IN ANOTHER GALAXY!

Surely they'll help manufacture more Halo rings to help their good old Human chums!

Even the Forerunners weren't able to travel galaxies

That we know of.

One new book and they can.

It's been established that they can't.

This isn't Bungie retconning and disregarding pre-established canon.
